Brothers,
It comes with great pleasure to unveil this new website for Theta Gamma Fraternity. As we celebrate our 103rd year as a brotherhood we can appreciate our perpetual ability to adapt to the constant changes in society. Included in these changes is embracing the ever increasing use of technology.
The goal of this new website is to serve as a valuable resource for ΘΓ actives and alumni, showcase our dedication in living up to the standards set by our founders, and to promote our mission & vision to potential brothers of our fraternity.
The function of this website shares similar qualities to the old–informing visitors of our history and current activities; however, it aims to do so in a sleeker and more easily navigated interface. Additionally, it will offer a more direct flow of announcements from the elected brothers of the Grand Council and chapter officers for the benefit of dedicated alumni. This easy flow of information promotes the maximization of alumni involvement as well as unity among chapters. Finally, in an effort to keep the website as a professional resource, the forum element has been removed in order to direct such conversations to the more convenient/populated brother-only Facebook groups.
As our brotherhood continues to advance and adapt we will begin our 103rd year with a large step forward with an online presence.
Please register and enjoy/add to this growing resource for all TG brothers, both current and future.
F.I.T.B.
Theta Gamma Grand Council
Is there going to be a forum here? Is there one already here but I can’t find it?
Thanks, Dave
Hi Dave,
At this point, there will not be a forum. It was a decision by the Grand Council to not include that feature in the new site. Once Facebook became popular by the mainstream, traffic to the old site, and its bulletin board, was gone. In reinventing the wheel, this site is more of an operational one. You have the opportunity to communicate with each of the GC officers in the contact section and soon to be officer email addresses. You also have the opportunity to download all important documents pertaining to the fraternity, both GC, corporations, and active chapters.
We will have this blog, however, to create dialogue between the GC and the registered members of this site. However, someone on the admin side has to make the primary post for a member to post a response, as you have done (you are our first blog poster!). This site being funded entirely by the GC, the conversations, articles, essays, documents, discussions, will be headed up by the officers, primarily the Grand Editor. All other types of conversations will be conducted on the private Facebook groups, as has been the trend the past few years.
Hope that helps!
ITB, Joe
